5 Houseplants That Will Definitely Appreciate Living In Your Kitchen
Let’s talk plants! As you know, houseplants are wildly in demand these days. They are the perfect finishing touch to transform an uninteresting kitchen into a space filled with life. And thanks to Gen Z, taking on the role of a plant parent has become more popular than ever.
But houseplants go far beyond their aesthetic purposes. Having plants in your kitchen can purify the air, helping to clear the stale smells of cooking and providing a source of fresh produce you can easily reach.
Consider adopting one of these houseplants and letting them live in your kitchen. They’ll definitely appreciate it!
Pothos
This plant simply belongs in the kitchen. The pothos’ trailing leafy vines are basically made to dangle from the top of kitchen cabinets and high shelves.
Pothos is one of the easiest plants to care for because they adapt well to all sorts of lighting conditions and are drought-tolerant.
Herbs
Fresh herbs are really a no-brainer for the kitchen. Why spend your hard-earned cash for a few sprigs of basil or rosemary at the grocery store when you could grow your own for free? They’ll be right there when you need them.
You won’t have a problem growing herbs if your kitchen receives bright light. Or you can supplement with a grow light. Try planting chives, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, basil, and oregano.

Snake Plant
When you’re busy in the kitchen, watering your houseplants goes straight to the bottom of your to-do list. If this is you, I recommend adding a snake plant to a corner of your kitchen. Snake plants are low-maintenance and can handle a little neglect.
This tough plant can go weeks without water. Snake plants are also especially known for effectively clearing the toxins in the air.
African Violet
The African violet’s deep purple blooms will brighten up your kitchen immensely. But it’s a bit needier than other houseplants. So keep it happy by ensuring it gets plenty of bright, indirect sunlight and water. The flower’s soil should also be lightly moist at all times.
Coffee Plant
Enjoy a cup of coffee in the kitchen next to your coffee plant! The attractive glossy green leaves of the coffee plant will make your day every morning. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get coffee beans from your indoor plant, but it makes a great addition to your kitchen anyway.
Place the plant in your kitchen window and be prepared to water it weekly to keep the soil moist, if not more.
